Focus ONLY on high-yield topics
Build strong basics → then practice
Solve easy to moderate PYQs
Trying to complete full syllabus now
Studying low-weight topics
Finish Priority 1 topics first (subject-wise)
Give topic-wise tests, not full tests initially
Gradually move to full mocks
Revise formulas + concepts daily
